beets

I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend! I am not meal planning for next week since we are leaving on Wednesday but I thought I’d pop in and show you what I ate this week to give you some ideas. I whipped up a delicious new lunch bowl combination and our dinners were “throw [...]

Tuesday used to be the busiest day of the week for me and I was crazy busy running all over town to train and teach. Lately they’ve been a pretty relaxed day for me. If I did a “day in the life” post today, you’d all be pretty surprised. I started early with 5:30 and [...]

Smooth travel is definitely never a guarantee but I think it’s worth it! :) As I mentioned in my last post, I spent most of Tuesday catching up and getting back into the groove. Here’s a [...]

I had a little situation in my kitchen last night. I went to check the tofu that was roasting in the oven and discovered this. Bleeding tofu! I immediately thought to myself WTF!? and then I remembered that I was roasting a batch of beets while dinner was cooking and I guess some of the [...]

I had an early wake up call for a 6 a.m. client. It’s always tough to get out of bed when the alarm goes off in the five o’clock hour but once I’m up, I love it. Early morning has always been the most productive time of the day for me. When [...]

I have crossed the line into full-out “go mode.” Most people would say that I’m in go mode all of the time due to my seeming inability to slow down and propensity to take on as much as possible. I know that I’ve entered a special state of craziness when I start doing things like [...]

A quick update on part two of my weekend (part one here) before I crash…I have a goal to be in bed by 9:30 tonight! I “slept in” until 7:30 this morning, which these days sadly is sleeping in. I had an English muffin with peanut butter, honey and banana with black coffee while I [...]

After enjoying the ready-to-eat beets from Trader Joe’s and seeing beets all over the blog world recently, I decided it was time to take a stab at cooking with them. I found this beautiful bunch of beets at the farmer’s market on Saturday for $2. I really wanted to use the beet greens too so [...]

Sorry that I didn’t get a post up last night but the last thing I wanted to do was open my laptop after a long day of work. Also, my throat is still bothering me so vegging on the couch catching up on Grey’s Anatomy sounded a little more appealing than blogging . ;) And [...]
